October 2007: I was getting tired of parts of my skin were getting covered with some rashes.  I decided to start putting virgin coconut oil on my rashes  to see if they would disappear (like I've read online about rashes).  Each time I put it on it it is getting lighter and lighter and they don't itch either.  Some types of rashes (liquid filled) makes it  worse but just welts that come (or small rashes), coconut oil works.  It also works GREAT on diaper rashes  and it usually works within a day.  If it doesn't work, the diaper rash may be caused from gluten or some food allergy or intolerance.

Virgin Coconut Oil is wonderful for lots of health problems, skin problems, etc.  Go to: Coconut Oil Cures to read more.  Also, go to Coconut Haven - Pure Virgin Coconut Haven to read how it can help those with autism.  I know it cured our family from the monotone voice (which is usually a sign of autism) we had all our lives.  (Our youngest never had the problem and she is the most social-our little social butterfly.)  In March 2007, I started taking it and I gave it to my son.   One morning, I noticed my son wasn't monontone anymore.  I listened to myself, and neither was I.  Coconut oil cured our monotone voices in just over five days.  I took about 2 or 3 tablespoons a day (less for my son).  Back then, I took it with honey but it made my throat really scratchy.  It even helped my left side of my brain.  For years, I have felt like that side of my brain was working extra hard.  I also felt like my left eye was staring harder than my right side.  (Added August 2008: Now, when I am extra tired, hungry, I do get it but once I eat or rest, I'm fine again.  No monotone voice.)  I even got more energy from using it.  I started to bake some with it back in March and my daughter and husband aren't monotone either.  Amazing!  All of us took unrefined virgin coconut oil and we can talk mostly like normal people.  I wasn't even know it would help with a monontone voice, but it did.  I'm glad it did because I hated to hear myself talk.  If you have a child (or yourself), have autism or are in the autism spectum,  please try it.

How to take coconut oil
Online I read you need to have the coconut oil melted in order to take it without being in food.  When I do take it, I take about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil with about 1 tablespoon of agave nectar and swish the two together in my mouth and swallow.  (It's different so you have to be willing to try it.)  I have also read you can but it on bread.  (I haven't tried that yet.)  The best way to take it is to bake with it, so try that out.

Coconut oil is an amazing oil!  Coconut has lauric acid in it (which is in breastmilk).  This acid help keep the immune system built up.  It works with colds and flu's .  I've read to take three tablespoons a day.  You can even eat coconut cookies to help build your immune system back up and to kill the cold/flu by the next day.  (Yes, most of the time.)
